The Humble Bundle Origin pack has been so successful, Electronic Arts has sweetened the deal even more by adding Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 - Uprising (a standalone expansion) and Populous. Gamers who already purchased the pack above the average (currently $4.84) will get both games automatically.

The first day of the Xbox 360 "Ultimate Game Sale" has some pretty good deals on Xbox Live Marketplace, with Assassin's Creed 3 being sold for $14.99 USD, Far Cry 3 for $19.99, Max Payne 3 for $9.99 and Borderlands 2 for only $9.99.

Electronic Arts has announced that both their Origin and GameSpy servers will be taken down for maintenance, which will shut down multiplayer gaming for several games for roughly three-and-a-half hours.

Xbox Live Newsbeat has announced the upcoming Xbox Live releases, downloadable content and deals that will be hitting Xbox Live Marketplace in the next two weeks from the 6th March through to the 19th.
